-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Special Section on Network Resource Management in Flying Ad Hoc Networks: Challenges, Potentials, Future Applications, and Wayforward -- IEEE Access (Impact Factor = 3.55) Datum: Thu, 3 Jan 2019 12:26:52 -0500 Von: Mubashir Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mubashir Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for Special Section in IEEE Access Journal. Link: http://ieeeaccess.ieee.org/special-sections/network-resource-management-in-… Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. Call for Paper -------------------- Submission Deadline: 01 April, 2019 IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Network Resource Management in Flying Ad Hoc Networks: Challenges, Potentials, Future Applications, and Wayforward. INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW ------------------------------------------- With the rapid development in the fields of wireless ad hoc networks that do not rely on any pre-existing infrastructure, Flying Ad hoc networks (FANETs) have recently captured the attention of vendors and investors due to the flying nature of entities in the network. FANET is composed of nodes that fly at high altitude platforms such as balloons, unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, which have the ability to fly without a human pilot aboard. The network of nodes that fly at high altitude has gained commercial and industrial popularity because of its applications in surveillance, agriculture, photography, etc. For instance, the new applications that are being developed for FANET bring up the new challenges such as multipath propagation, severe shadowing, traffic load balancing, mobility, congestion, high error rates, etc., that usually results in the performance degradation of the network. However, the applications developed and used in FANET may also result in collision with the commercial flights due to the above challenges. The Federal Aviation Administration has been reported about the tremendous increase of more than 50% in the air traffic specifically the unmanned vehicles in 2017. However, such an increase in the UAVs results in an increase in the network traffic of FANET that may lead to an unbalanced traffic distribution, resulting in an increase in packet loss due to collision. Furthermore, the high data traffic generated by the number of nodes in FANET is one of the leading causes of accidents with the commercial flights. In order to cope with such kind of challenges, the network traffic of FANET must be distributed in such a way that it should neither disturb the commercial flights nor the communication among the nodes that fly at high altitudes in a network. This Special Issue therefore solicits original research work, novel protocols, methodologies and survey papers addressing the future challenges and solutions that embark on network resource management in FANETs. The topics of Special Issue include, but are not limited to: - Efficient deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at high altitude platforms (HAPs) for congestion avoidance and control - Dynamic traffic load balancing for congestion avoidance through routing in Flying Ad hoc Networks - Performance investigation of 5G systems with flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) - An optimal data collection and dissemination technique for balanced traffic utilization in FANETs - Distributed congestion-aware position oriented MAC/Routing protocols for FANETs - Performance evaluation of layered protocols of TCP/IP for multimedia traffic in flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) at different altitude platforms - Analysis of Reactive, proactive, and hybrid routing protocols for flying Ad Hoc networks - Opportunistic routing for distributed video traffic dissemination over flying ad hoc networks - A cross layer design for distributed information dissemination over flying ad hoc networks - Agricultural environment monitoring system based on UAV in FANETs - Congestion avoidance, detection, and mitigation in Flying Ad-Hoc Network for efficient utilization of network resources - Distributed clustering approach for FANETs - Enhanced connectivity for robust multimedia transmission in UAV networks - Active Queue Management for resource sharing in Flying Ad hoc Networks - Bio-inspired routing protocols for FANET routing - Multi-hop and relay-based communications for distributed traffic load balancing - Smart solutions to reduce congestion in FANETs - Interaction of FANET with IoT - Distributed Emergency Message Dissemination in FANET Associate Editor: Omer Chughtai, COMSATS University Islamabad, Wah Campus, Wah Cantt, Pakistan.

The symbiosis between Drones and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) started quite naturally as more and more networks of wireless sensors are scattered to detect special events and the areas that need to be monitored increase. In WSNs, Drones can act as a mobile sensor node that carry the data collected by the WSN towards the external world saving extra sensors to guarantee the full connectivity of the WSN and the full coverage of the deployment area. However, flying over the deployment area, a single small drone can also act as a collector or replace several anchors, i.e., special sensors equipped with GPS module, for localizing all the network sensors, saving the cost of the anchor nodes and the cost of their deployment. Thus, in WSN scenario, the drone can be regarded as the light infrastructure that closes the loop towards the autonomous WSNs or the mobile carrier that virtually replicate sensing equipment. Evolving WSNs in Internet of Things (IoT), the drones may become terminal devices at the edge of the ubiquitous IoT network. Having the ability to sense/measure just about anything and anywhere, drones may act as wireless sensor network deployed, at need, in remote locations, with the extra capability of carrying flexible payloads and the strong ability to be re-programmable during missions. Drones can play the role of quickly distributing critical information at the edge of the network, quickly checking status (detecting anomalies) of durable goods connected to IoT network. Drones and UAVs can become the backbone of the communication infrastructure for the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks in an emergency. For this reason, Drones/UAVs have also been included in 4G and 5G research and development activities. Connected to the IoT, Drones can be part of autonomous delivery on-demand systems and instead of operating individually (navigating in the line-of-sight controlled by a ground station) they operate in fleets that communicate, and navigate in real-time, beyond the line-of-sight. Single or multiple Drones/UAVs can cooperatively provide services that require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints should be accounted. With this in mind, Drones and UAVs will grow in the future and they will become ever-more numerous in our skies. For this workshop, we search for papers that combine design of algorithms, optimization, and test-bed to develop the theoretical foundations for the drone systems operating in symbiosis with WSN in IoT applications. The numerous emergent applications nurtured by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach, involving techniques from algorithm foundations as well as different areas, like robotics, artificial intelligence, mathematical modelling. Applications in complex domains lead to situations where multiple optimization objectives should be accounted in the proposed solutions. Decentralized and distributed, robust and secure algorithms are searched for drones systems that operate in rapidly-changing, uncertain, and potentially adversarial environments. Topics (Not limited to) * Autonomous WSN via Drones * Topology monitoring of WSN with Drones * Build Remote Sensing Networks in emergency context via Drones * Communication architectures and protocols of Drones over IoT * Modelling and analysis of Drone systems over IoT * Theoretical foundations for communication routing beyond line-of-sight of Drones * Communication and networking aspects of cyber-physical systems * Theoretical foundations for parcel delivery using Drones * Drones/UAVS for monitoring network properties (coverage, connectivity) in emergency * Drones for detecting or discovering events * Facility location problem and Resource Management for Drone systems * 4G-5G networks and UAVs * UAV assisted networks * Drones for environment (crop/forest) monitoring * Constraints and multiobjective optimization problems in UAVs * Localization, navigation, and dynamic path planning of UAVs over IoT * Ground Localization with Drones * Cooperative control of multiple UAVs * UAV secure communication techniques * Optimal UAV deployment strategies * High-accuracy navigation techniques * Real-time surveillance techniques * Performance, scalability, energy, and reliability in Drones’ systems * Anomaly detection, network monitoring and forecasting * Trust, security, and privacy * Experimental results, simulators and test beds for drone networks * Cooperative Rendezvous for secure drone to drone communications * Secure communication between the drone and the ground networks Program Chairs Enrico Natalizio, University of Lorraine/LORIA, France; enrico.natalizio(a)loria.fr<mailto:enrico.natalizio@loria.fr> Cristina M.

Call for Papers Cloud computing has been widely adopted to enable convenient access to a shared pool of computing resources. Nevertheless, as the distance between the cloud and the edge device is usually large, cloud computing services may not provide guarantees to low latency applications, and transmitting a large amount of data (e.g., in big data analytics) from the device to the cloud may not be feasible or economical. To address these issues, edge (fog) computing has been proposed to deploy computing resources closer to end users. Edge computing allows edge devices to perform computation offloading to offload their computational tasks to the edge server, which executes the computational tasks on behalf of the edge devices. Another new technology called information-centric networking (ICN) has been extensively studied in recent years. In-network caching is used in ICN to reduce the duplicate content transmission in networks. ICN-based caching has been recognized as one of the promising techniques for future wireless/wired networks. Recently, there is a phenomenal burst of research activities in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in next generation networks. From the perspective of applications (e.g., video), network, cache and compute are underlying resources enabling these applications. How to manage, control and optimize these resources can have significant impacts on the performance of applications. The Workshop on "Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks" provides a forum that brings together industry and academia, engineers and researchers to discuss up-to-date developments in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in next generation networks. The workshop invites submissions of unpublished works on (but not limited to) the following topics: Trends and challenges of integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Low-latency offload infrastructure Micro data cells/centers for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Cloudlets for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading networks Supporting real-time multimedia services over edge computing, caching, and offloading networks Edge computing networks for wireless big data applications Machine learning based edge computing, caching, and offloading wireless networks Artificial Intelligence (AI), data mining and big data analytics in the edge of wireless network AI and machine learning for multimedia services Energy and spectrum efficient wireless network operations and wireless resource allocations via AI and machine learning algorithms Caching, and edge computing using software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) Architectures and protocols for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Designs and optimizations for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Information-centric and content-centric networks Information theory for caching and offloading Cache-enabled networks Computation offloading in networks Networks for cloud computing Networks for edge/fog computing Integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in 5G cellular networks Energy efficient hardware, software, networks and services QoS provisioning and resource management in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Modeling and performance evaluation of integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Performance/complexity/cost tradeoff Pricing and billing for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Security and privacy for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Green and sustainable edge computing, caching, and offloading Big data for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Signal processing for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Information theory for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Interdisciplinary research for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Studies for integrating D2D/M2M and IoT with edge computing, caching, and offloading Implementations and trails for edge computing, caching, and offloading Standards, policies, and regulations for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading 2.

Objects need to be smart, with enough intelligence to perform required operations. On the one hand, the objects should be able to deal with the possibly unpredictable and intense mobility and can wirelessly communicate with each other in a reliable and secure way. On the other hand, these objects must be socially aware, as we have witnessed a big growth in provisioning social network services including messaging, gaming, advertising, recommending, commercing, and content sharing on mobile objects. The HotSALSA workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation, and evaluation of novel systems for smart objects and the social aspects of these systems in the emerging cooperative environments. We are seeking for original, previously unpublished work, addressing key issues and challenges in the social and mobile connected smart objects arena. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - App concepts and algorithm design for mobile social applications and systems - Drone coordination and aerial communication - Interaction between mobile devices and cars - Location- and tracking-based mobile services and social networking - Measurement of social aspects in mobile systems and applications - Mobile centric social networking - Mobile edge/fog computing and networking - Mobile online advertising and payment - Pervasive and ubiquitous mobile social services - Playful social interaction: game, entertainment, and multimedia in mobile applications - Reputation, incentives, and economics in mobile systems - Security and privacy in mobility-aware mobile social networks - Sensors and data collection for social networking applications - Smart cities and urban applications - Social aspects of Mobile AR/VR - User behavior analysis in mobile applications - Wearable devices and computing Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all aspects of mobile computing, social networks, or the intersection of both. In particular, innovative, early-stage ideas and preliminary results are welcome. The length of the paper must be no more than 6 pages in the IEEE double-column format, including references. The first page must contain an abstract, the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s). Each submission will receive at least three independent, single-blind peer reviews from the program committee.

Ammari <ammari.habib(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers for the 1st Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor, UAV and Robot Networking (MiSARN 2019) In conjunction with the IEEE INFOCOM 2019 ( http://infocom2019.ieee-infocom.org) Joint 7th International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor and Cyber-Physical System Networking (MiSeNet) and 12th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Robot and UAV Networks (WiSARN) 29th April 2019, Paris, France Website: http://misarn2019.nws.cs.unibo.it Submission deadline: January 18th (Extended) Notification: February 11th Camera ready: March 3rd Workshop Day: April 29th EDAS link for submissions: http://edas.info/N25568 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Over the last two decades, the recent and fast advances in inexpensive sensor technology and wireless communications has made the design and development of large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and cyber-physical systems (CPS) cost-effective and appealing to a wide range of mission-critical situations, including civilian, natural, industrial, and military applications, such as health and environmental monitoring, seism monitoring, industrial process automation, and battlefields surveillance. Some of these mission-critical applications include the utilization of ground sensor, robot and UAV networks, which are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless communications, robotics and control theory meet. Autonomous cooperative systems, made of intelligent devices (such as robots and UAVs), may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, the 5G architecture foresees explicitly the usage of these specialized systems and offer new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. Starting from the tradition of MiSeNet and WiSARN workshops, IEEE MiSARN 2018 will aim to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented WSNs, cyber-physical systems and UAV/Robot networking, combining both research and practice. IEEE MiSARN 2018 will serve as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in the area of the workshops topics. IEEE MiSARN 2018 will provide its participants with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges of mission-oriented WSNs, cyber-physical systems and UAV/Robot networking as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to their architecture, protocol, algorithm, and application design, in particular at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. IEEE MiSARN 2018 will seek papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented WSN applications and cyber-physical systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOPICS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Theoretical foundations, modeling and analysis of mission-oriented WSNs - System design, implementation, and evaluation of mission-oriented WSNs - Medium access control and scheduling in mission-oriented WSNs - Software architectures for mission-oriented WSNs - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency in mission-oriented WSNs - Topology control, coverage and connectivity issues in mission-oriented WSNs - Routing and data dissemination in mission-oriented WSNs - In-network data storage and processing in mission-oriented WSNs - Sensor database management in mission-oriented WSNs - Localization, detection and tracking in mission-oriented WSNs - Cryptography, privacy, robustness, security aspects of mission-oriented WSNs - Internet and cloud computing, cloud of Things in mission-oriented WSNs - Sensor-enabled robots and drones in mission-oriented WSNs - Wearable computing and human centricity in mission-oriented WSNs - Cyber-physical systems in mission-oriented WSNs - Theoretical foundations of Cyber-Physical Systems - Signal Processing for Cyber-Physical Systems - Mechanism Design for Cyber-Physical Systems - Control and Optimization of Cyber-Physical Systems - Data Mining and Analytics Applied to Cyber-Physical Systems - Game Theory Applied to Cyber-Physical Systems - Mobile and Cloud Computing for Cyber-Physical Systems - Security of Cyber-Physical Systems - Model-Based Design and Verification of Cyber-Physical Systems - Testbed design and real-world applications of mission-oriented WSNs - Autonomous sensor networks - Emergent behavior in robotic systems - UAV-aided wireless sensor networks - Optimal control of networked robots - Robot advanced motion control - Modeling and control of fleet of UAVs - Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication in Robot and UAV networks - Sensor-robot and robot-robot coordination - Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols in Robot and UAV networks - Distributed control and management for Robot and UAV network deployments - Communication protocols for swarms of mobile nodes - Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots - Robot task assignment - Biologically inspired communication systems for Robot and UAV networks - Software-Defined Aerial Networks - Endurance Management - Ground sensors to UAVs communication and data gathering - Context-awareness and decision making for UAV systems - Path planning, and target tracking in UAV networks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It is required that the manuscript follows the standard IEEE camera-ready format (double column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF file (formatted for 8.5-11 inch paper) as well as the requirement set by the EDAS paper submission system.
